UFC 163 takes place Aug. 3 at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.

Marunde vs. Andrade likely will be part of the prelims.

Marunde, 31, has had a tough go of it under the Zuffa banner. After a 9-1 run with a decision victory over Jay Silva that earned him a Strikeforce contract, he took a late-notice fight and submitted to ex-champ Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza in his debut. Then, after a move to the UFC, he suffered a knockout loss to Clint Hester in April.

The native Alaskan looks to end the streak against the Brazilian-born Andrade, who makes his UFC debut on the strength of a six-fight win streak. Recently, the 29-year-old posted a semifinal-round finish on “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 2″ but wasn’t booked for a fight at Saturday’s UFC on FUEL TV 10 event, which serves as the show’s live finale.
